SNOW

update: I finally got to experience my first “snow day”

headed up to sierra nevada for a weekend in the mountains. this “staycation” was a very spontaneous decision to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary a weekend early (I still can’t believe it’s been a year already, where has the time gone?) we’ve been working really hard this year and deserved some R&R in a new place and setting…..and weather.

I had never seen (real) snow before so when I saw on our weather forecast for the weekend I was literally jumping for joy. I stayed up to watch the small little snow flurries fall from the sky and melt quicker than I could scream “It’s snowing!!” I’m a real big optimist so this was more than perfect for me. After being outside taking photos and videos, I decided to call it a night. I think it was the numb sensation in my fingers, toes and nose.

But when we woke up and walked out of our little cottage, I did NOT expect for it to be still snowing and most of the grounds were covered in snow. Apparently this was a really rare occasion for the week, I’ll just call it a special surprise 😉

**in case you were wondering, we stayed in the small town of Capileira in the Sierra Nevada region in a hotel called “Hotel Finca Los Llanos”. It’s just about 2.5 hours driving from where we live in Marbella.

La Cruz de Juanar

Road trip!!!!! We headed to Juanar this morning for some outdoor adventure and a breath of (cold) fresh air.

p.s. I apologize in advance for the overload of images, but the hike to the top was awesome & the view was spectacular…I HAD to share!

INSPIRATION

I’ve been lacking some creative momentum in my life lately and I was (I still kinda am..) actually getting a bit worried. I find myself on the internet, trying to search as many random things as possible to enlighten my frump…at the gas station, buying a heavy load of magazines…randomly redecorating my bedroom, which Adrian will try to convince you that this is a normal thing I do every other month (he could be telling you the truth). I even pulled out my sketch book and I didn’t even know where to begin. AHH!!!!

So I’ve decided to take a road trip to a new city this weekend. Time to have a change of pace, weather and scenery. I find that getting a way for a bit can always be good for the soul and Lord knows my soul needs some refreshing. I’m even considering a 3 day juice cleanse to hit the refresh button a little harder. But for now, here’s a mash up of some of my favorite images from my Pinterest haul. #guilty
